What you most need to realize on your birthday is that it’s never too late to change direction or even to start again. If things are not working out the way you want them to then be bold in the changes you make. Remember: this is not a rehearsal, this is the real thing.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Money issues have taken centre stage for some time but now the sun has changed signs you should be a bit more relaxed about what you own and what you earn. If your social life has suffered of late make up for it today.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You need to come down to earth a bit and deal with matters of a practical nature. Above all you must be sensible with money, especially if you are the kind of Taurus who takes an “easy come, easy go” attitude to cash.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your head and your heart are working in harmony now, so anything you begin over the next few days will have the mark of success on it. Follow your instincts and don’t let the doubters talk you into changing your plans.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

To make sense of what has occurred in recent weeks you need to stand back a bit and see life from a wider perspective. What is it all for? Where is it all taking you? These are the sort of questions you should be asking now.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

It may seem as if you have reached your limits or hit some kind of wall but don’t give up. There are plenty of people out there who will happily help you out but what you need to realize is they can’t read your mind. If you need help – ask!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Over the next few days you will get the chance to put some of your big ideas to the test. One of those ideas could turn your life around and send you off in a direction you never even considered before. Don’t be afraid to take risks.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

One of the best times of the year for you is now under way, so get rid of any negative attitudes you may have and start looking forward to all the good things that will be coming your way. Be positive in thought, word and deed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The more you try to give up certain things you know are not good for you the more you end up indulging in them. Maybe that’s the only way. Maybe you need to wallow in what you desire until you desire it no more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Now that the sun has moved into the partnership area of your chart you will have to take what other people think and see and need into account more than you usually do. Together you can do great things but your aims must be compatible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Over the next few days you will have to decide what is worth carrying on with and what needs to be junked. Don’t let sentiment play a part in your decision: put your own needs first and don’t let other people influence you in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The dark days are behind you and everything is happiness and light. Well, okay, maybe it’s not that good – yet – but it’s now within your power to change your life in major ways. Forget about yesterday, today is the only day that matters.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Social activities are important, of course, but your home life is what you should be focusing on now. If there are problems in the domestic sphere it’s unlikely you will be happy in other areas, so look for solutions – you’ll find them.
